10 Things i would bring to a desert island

This answer is in response to a prompt that my very cool health teacher asked us.. The question was... What would you bring to a deserted desert island, fully stocked with a fresh supply of food/ water, shelter, and perfect weather all the time? I answered:
1.) My family (5 members not including me)
6.) A library
7.) A college professor to teach me
8.) A radio
9.) A survival kit( axe, flint...)
10.) A friend :0-]D

Hmm. That's a nice
Hmm.
That's a nice list.
Let's see.
1. Lighter.
Note: Assuming this 'desert' island has a jungle somewhere around the middle.
2. Bugspray.
Secondary note: Also assuming jungle/desert (junert?) island has flammable insects.
3. Machete. Simple as that.
4. War and Peace. Yeah.
5. Solar panel.
6. MP3 player.
7. Girlfriend. If she wants to go. I dunno. She likes Montana. Does Montana have junert islands?
Yeah.
That's what I thought.
8. My brother.
He shall...
amuse me.
9. Mother. (Dad couldn't live without internet. I mean, he works from home. On it. A lot. He might have a cardiac arrest. And we don't want that, do we? No.)
10. Coconuts.
Crap, they grow there?
Damnit.
Haha!
Nice list! In my class when we did it... someone decided to bring an aircraft carrier, another a chainsaw set, another wanted to bring his entire collection of 4 wheelers:) Some of my family members couldnt live without the internet either... Horrible espically when you are on vacation..

Here's mine.
1. My friend, since almost all of my family can't live without tenchonology.
2. A writing book, so I can record thoughts, and what I do each day. Like Robinson Crusoe. Even though I hated that book.
3. My guitar, so I can make as much noise as I want, and not bug people.
4. Extra clothes, in case it's too hot, or too cold...
5. A hammock. I mean you have an island, all you need is a hammock to swing. It'll be like my bed.
6. Some teacher, to teach me things. I wouldn't want to come back (if I came back that is) forgetting how to read.
7. My i-pod, since inispiration for my guitar might come from there. If technology works there. Well.. it would probably die out soon so .. maybe not.
8. A world's supply of candy. (I don't think candy applies as food.)
9. A toothbrush, just so I don't have a million root canals.
10. A bow and arrow. If my food supply runs out. I cringe at thinking of killing an animal, though.

1. Ipod (Music, enough
1. Ipod (Music, enough said)
2. Some form of mini solar panel to CHARGE my ipod with (obviously)
3. A Pen (I need something to DO)
4. A notebook (writing on my hand would probably suffice, but, it's not
permanent enough:) )
5. my watch (I do realize time doesn't matter if you're stranded on an island, but I would DIE without knowing what time it is)
6. My weird metal fiddle toy I always have in my pocket that most people don't know about, but I play with it all the time.
7. A dictionary (I NEED WORDS)
8. Books. Lots of books. A whole LIBRARY full of BOOKS. (Books are necessary
for me to function properly)
9. An immortal cat. (I don't want anything DYING on me, I can't deal with dead things)
10. A friend (but which one... ooh...)

awesome!
you guy's list's are coming out really cool! i would totally bring some of the stuff you suggested... i would feel really weird just exsisting and nobody really knowing it except people with you, not having to deal with society for a while, just getting away.... then again, i wouldn't want to turn out like the guy on the movie castaway.... immortality on an island would be cool too cause you wouldn't have to like live on an island alone, with your dead friend %)
